Frankfort, Ky – As this new school year starts, one subject students should be mindful of is the 2024 Presidential Election. With Election Day on November 4th, students and staff need to keep in the back of their mind, who are they going to choose between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump to be the commander in chief for the next four years. Let’s break down some facts and information regarding both candidates and their parties.

First up, Kamala Harris. Ms. Harris is the current sitting vice president of the United States, and will be teaming up with Tim Walz, the Governor of Minnesota, to represent the Democratic Party. Originally, current president Joe Biden was going to run for re-election this year. In turn, Kamala Harris stepped in and gathered a huge number of supports in a short matter of time, since the announcement of her running back in late July of this year. One of the main things that has helped Harris gather all this support is being a younger candidate, as well as her being a former attorney and senator in California. On top of that, Harris claims to be fighting for the middle-class Americans to live healthier and cheaper lives, as she and her family were also in that situation when she was younger.

Next up, is the former 45th president of the United States, Donald Trump. Trump has been involved in several interesting events since losing the presidency. An assassination attempt was made on the former president on July 13th this year, in which Trump managed to live as he was only struck by the ear. Despite that and many other unfortunate events, at the RNC where he accepted the nomination, along with Ohioan JD Vance running for the Vice President seat, Trump was still greeted with support at the event. Trump believes in large tax cuts for all Americans, especially for more wealthy Americans, as well as using more energy to turn America into a superpower country.

With Election Day being only a week ago, the country came to the poles for the last time to decide who they want to be the president. Both candidates were fighting to make sure they can secure the presidency for the next four years. The 45th President claimed his spot back as the commander in chief. Trump having 312 votes and Vice President Harris had 226 votes. President Biden and VP Harris addressed the country November 7, and gave former President Trump congratulations.
